We examine the chilling story of a CO2 scrubber failure that led to the loss of half a crew in a confined environment.

Komar Kawatra couldn't be prouder of the students on his research team at Michigan Technological University -- because they've developed a CO2 scrubber in-house. Kawatra, who chairs the chemical ...

Carbon dioxide scrubbers have been around since the 1800s, when commercial divers used them to extend their oxygen supply underwater. The technology got another boost when humans launched ...

A group of scientists are devising a 'CO2 scrubber’ which they claim will capture one tonne of CO2 from the air every day, about the same per passenger as a flight from London to New York ...

A group of US scientists has made a breakthrough in developing "carbon scrubbers" to remove excess CO2 from the atmosphere. Led by Columbia University physicist Klaus Lackner and backed by a ...

These “diffuse emissions” account for roughly half of the CO2 that goes up into the sky every day, contributing to global warming. The scrubber takes in air and binds the CO2 to sodium hydroxide.

The carbon dioxide scrubber not only advances the life support capabilities for the orbiting laboratory's crew, but may possibly benefit future astronauts on the moon and Mars as well.

Carbon dioxide 'scrubber' captures greenhouse gases U of C scientist captures global warming gas directly from the air; technology could reduce emissions from transportation ...

The material is for astronauts to use when CO2 scrubbers fail in the CM, all CM filters are used or in other situations where additional scrubbing of CO2 is required.

The new scrubber material would meet the goal of the U.S. Department of Energy, which funded the research, of developing carbon capture technologies with at least a 90 percent CO2 capture efficiency.
